‘No One Will Save You’ (Disney+ Hotstar)
Perhaps, the most original script on the list, one that has only five words of dialogue through its 90-minute runtime.

One night, she realizes that aliens have taken over her small town — and moreover, that one of these aliens has invaded her own home. Think Predator crossed with Home Alone and you have a decent picture of the madcap frenzy unleashed by No One Will Save You.
